Excellent Plugin

Sooooo much better than the default code block. It’s great for lists too. For instance, I’ve used it for the ingredient list for recipes. Makes it really easy to c/p into a .txt for a grocery list.

Much needed plugin

Thanks! It works flawless. A nice extra feature with be a ‘copy’ button to copy the content to the clipboard, as lots of my snippets can be used directly. Thanks again.

Fantastic!!
